1967's didn't have them, they came out in 1968.

The VIN on the SPID says it's a 1967 K20 Suburban.

The dash is a 1967 dash.

Here is how I broke down the VIN to the best of my knowledge:

K = 4x4
E = V8 gas
2 = 3/4 ton
6 = Suburban
7 = 1967 year of manufacture
Z = Freemont, CA (where it was built).
157195 = This is a mix of assembly line number, and the actual number off the line. (not sure how that's broken down).
The first "1" is a given. So the first Fremont truck on the line for the '67 run would be 100001. The next 5 digits are the actual serial. So its Fremont's 57195th truck. By comparison my old Sub, "White Fang" has a VIN of KE167Z154723 so it was built 2472 vehicles earlier.
